    Mazdaspeed3 2,3L in Mazda3

    Here's a link. http://tinyurl.com/yaojlsb The linkage isn't that hard to replace. Remove from shifter assemble and a couple of bolts in the engine bay. Should be the easiest part of a tranny swap.

    Snow chains/cables?

    I have yet to find anywhere a definitive posting on whether or not snow chains/cables will fit. In case someone else comes a looking: Yes they will. I picked up a set of the SCC Super Z6 snow cables and ran them on a set of 205/55R16, which are only slightly shorter then stock, on +45 offset...
